10:1And the queen of Saba, having; heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, came to try him with hard questions.

2And entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels that carried spices, and an immense quantity of gold, and precious stones, she came to king Solomon, and spoke to him all that she had in her heart.

3And Solomon informed her of all the things she proposed to him: there was not any word the king was ignorant of, and which he could not answer her.

4And when the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,

5And the food of his table, and the apartments of his servants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts, which he offered in the house of the Lord: she had no longer any spirit in her,

6And she said to the king: The report is true, which I heard in my own country,

7Concerning your words, and concerning your wisdom. And I did not believe them that told me, till I came myself, and saw with my own eyes, and have found that the half has not been told me: your wisdom and your works, exceed the fame which I heard.

8Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you always, and hear your wisdom.

9Blessed be the Lord your God, whom you have pleased, and who has set you upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord has loved Israel forever, and has appointed you king, to do judgment and righteousness.

10And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there was brought no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.

37:5Commit your way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.

6And he will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.

30The mouth of the righteous shall meditate wisdom$1 and his tongue shall speak judgment.

31The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.

39But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord, and he is their protector in the time of trouble.

40And the Lord will help them and deliver them$1 and he will rescue them from the evil, and save them, because they have hoped in him.

7:14And calling again the crowd to him, he said to them: Hear you me all, and understand.

15There is nothing from without a man that entering into him, can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are those who defile a man.

16If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

17And when he was come into the house from the crowd, his disciples asked him the parable.

18And he says to them: So are you also without knowledge? understand you not that every thing from without, entering into a man cannot defile him:

19Because it entereth not into his heart, but goes into the belly, and goes out into the privy, purging all meats?

20But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man.

21For from within out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22Thefts, greed, evil, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, words against God, pride, foolishness.

23All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
